OK, I’ve been teasing a contest for too long, and it’s been way too long since I’ve had a giveaway! So it’s time! I’ve had some goodies here that My friends at Drew Estate were kind enough to provide for me, and I’ll scrape together some Drew Estate cigars from my humidor to add as well. I’m sure I’ll find some more to throw in as the week goes by too! As it stands, here’s the stuff!… Continue reading

An Epic Habano Lancero, a Havana Q and Cigar Socks
Earlier in the week I was hunting around for something to smoke and I took a rummage through the lancero section of the humidor and came across a couple Epic Habano Lanceros. I have a handful of Epic Lanceros I’ve picked up over the years, and really enjoy them. They are made in the same factory in the DR that makes Kristoff cigars, who really isn’t known for that vitola, although I think they do have a few.… Continue reading
Perla Del Mar Corojo and a Diamond Crown Cigars
The folks at J.C. Newman recently shared some cigars with me, so I figured I’d smoke some of them. I’ve been a fan of the budget-friendly Perla Del Mar line for a while, and I was quite curious to try the new Corojo they recently released. I can’t say that I’m overly enthralled with what they’ve done with the bands, I thought the old
bands were pretty cool, and the new bands with just PDM in the middle bring to mind another brand, and I don’t find it as classy as the old ones.… Continue reading
J.C. Newman’s Yagua and Viajante’s Sweet Grass Gringo Cigars
I’ve been hoping to try J.C. Newman’s new Yaguera since seeing several of my cigar media brethren posting videos opening the boxes of these unique cigars, and after posting their press release about this unique cigar last month. This is a 6″ x 54 toro, my favored size, that comes in various shapes due to being rolled without molds, and wet backed in bundles and wrapped in palm leaves, so that the cigars assume strange shapes. I’m reminded of the old Henry Clay Brevas, or Brevas ala Conserva, maybe both, that were made this way, and were the same shapes, and, ironically, also had a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. My friend CigarProp Kevin was kind enough to send me a couple, and I couldn’t wait to smoke one!… Continue reading
A Diamond Crown Maximus a Julius Caeser and Some Cigar Trivia
I’ve been celebrating this whole finding a new job thing pretty hard, smoking some good cigars while I still have the time! Starting tomorrow I’ll have to get back to my evening cigar walk routine, not that that is a bad thing! It’ll be nice to have a Monday to Friday, 8-4:30 gig again after over two years (between not having a job, and having a retail schedule with nights and weekends). I’m looking forward to settling into the routine! It’ll also be nice to have a roughly 7 minute commute! I love not having to waste a lot of time driving and wear and tear on vehicles, and since my car gets 38 mpg, and my bike gets about 55, I won’t be spending a lot on gas. So I’ve been smoking so great cigars, like I said. I started off with a Sin Compromiso that I had bought when we visited Best Cigar Pub in June. It was amazing, and a prelude to my appearance on The Retrohale podcast, where I smoked a Sobremesa Short Churchill with the guys. Give the show a listen, it’s a good time and I didn’t embarrass myself too much! … Continue reading
